Schistosomiasis, a debilitating parasitic disease, could become more difficult to predict as environmental changes like deforestation and changing rainfall patterns shift the locations where the parasite can thrive. Now, researchers from Brazil and Stanford have developed models helping to proactively forecast these impacts. 🔗: https://lnkd.in/gJpAkfK3 📸: Andrew Chamberlin, De Leo Lab

“Firebricks” absorb heat generated by solar or wind power and store it for later use, allowing factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. New research shows how this technology could accelerate the world’s transition to renewable energy at low cost. “We found that firebricks enable a faster and lower-cost transition to renewables, and that helps everyone in terms of health, climate, jobs, and energy security,” said lead study author Mark Jacobson of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University.

Despite watching years of #climate inaction roll by, Stanford scientist Rob Jackson has a positive outlook on the clean energy transition. “Optimism and hope are muscles we can exercise," he says. "My first homework assignment in every class is for students to find things that are better today than they were 50 or 100 years ago - and the list is long.” Jackson's new book explores the challenges and successes of the #cleanenergy transition around the world.

New research shows a previously unknown relationship between hurricane rainfall and dust plumes transported from the Sahara Desert. “Hurricanes are among the most destructive weather phenomena on Earth. For conventional weather predictions, especially hurricane predictions, I don’t think dust has received sufficient attention to this point,” said corresponding author Yuan Wang.

Richard Nyiawung, PhD cares deeply about listening to fishers and their stories in his work as a Human and Planetary Health Postdoctoral Scholar. "It was emotional going back to where I was born with the expertise of a researcher listening to stories," says Nyiawung, who was born in the coastal city of Limbe, Cameroon, where going to sea is a way of life.

Rod Ewing, geoscientist and nuclear security expert, has died at age 77. Ewing was the Frank Stanton Professor in Nuclear Security, a professor in the Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, and co-director of the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI). He is remembered for his profound intellect, leadership, integrity, and generosity. “Rod was not only an academic superstar, recognized around the world as the best in his field, but was also a major intellectual leader at CISAC and FSI, whose wisdom, judgment, and values I always admired and learned from,” said FSI Director Michael McFaul. “He had an amazing way of thoughtfully listening to your problems, giving tough feedback when it was necessary, providing sage advice, and encouraging you to move forward,” said Earth & Planetary Sciences Department Chair Wendy Mao. “I would not be who I am today without Rod’s shepherding, good advice, and, most important, trust in me,” reflected one of his former postdoctoral fellows, François Diaz-Maurin. “I wish every young professional could have a mentor of the quality and kindness of Rod Ewing.” Full obituary: https://lnkd.in/gGi5XHzc Image credit: Andrew Brodhead

During the inaugural Stanford Sustainability Summit organized by Stanford University Graduate School of Business, Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, and Stanford King Center on Global Development, 40 global leaders with expertise ranging from public health to ocean justice gathered to collaborate and share their experiences. At the end of the summit, teams discussed aspirational visions for a sustainable future. They then brainstormed steps to make those realities possible, with ideas like widespread climate education for young adults and the use of VR to demonstrate local effects of climate change over time. Professor William Barnett, who co-led the event, emphasized that concepts that people at first find unlikely or absurd can lead to innovations that change the world for the better. “If it makes us uncomfortable because it seems impossible, then we’re on the right track,” he said. 📸: Nancy Rothstein
